There are two types of toxic people and this one is worse IMO:

So we have 2 different types of people that are toxic in games:

Player #1) Someone who joins a game, refuses to speak, refuses to listen to pings, ignores their team the entire game, silently feeds the other team, with a ridiculous build, and eventually ends the game with a score of 3/14/2 with a 3 vision score. Oh and don't forget, during the entire game while they didn't say a peep -- they flashed emotes and their mastery symbol.

Player #2) A player that gets pissed off at their team for feeding and tells them they are bad, spams pings, and repeatedly types /surrender.

Guess which player I would still choose any day of the week over the other? Oh you guessed Player number 2? Yeah. 110%. Because at the end of the day, I'm given a mute button for someone's toxicity. A mute button is futile against a silent troll.

Guess which one usually goes unbanned?

I would rather not play with either kind of player, which is why both styles of toxicity are punishable.

You're, simply put, incorrect. You're just stretching a term used only to refer to people who are rude in chat to mean something it doesn't.

While it does make for a much worse experience, someone who's just terrible or inting isn't being toxic.

And I don't know how many times this has been explained on the boards, but the only reason chat is punished more often is because it's easier to detect. Same reason people who post on facebook about committing crimes get caught more often than those who don't.

It doesn't matter which one is worse. They're both detrimental to your match in their own way.

The first one isn't even Toxic.

You throw around the word "Toxic" like it's candy.

Being a bad player is not against the rules, and think about where your MMR is

1 isn’t toxic, it’s just a bad player. You’re gonna get those in your games. You’ve probably been that guy before.

Any bet youre the one constantly putting other players & team mates down, honestly at the end of the day this IS just a GAME youre suppose to have FUN... little we bit of advice, ONE don't take it so seriously & TWO, next time you see another player making a BS build give them a heads up at the end of the game! Iv never once put someone down or made another player feel useless for trying to learn.. <3

Instead of putting someone down, most likely ruining their time playing & looking like a complete DH...

I guarantee your experience playing will be a whole lot more pleasant :))
